Default Outside Temperature Probe Location?

Hello. My display shows the outside temperature to be about 81-88 degrees outsides when it's usually 96-105 degrees. Is this an easy thing to replace? Where is it located? Thank you for your time!

Just under the hood latch on your radiator core support.

The only one that I've seen, and I'm pretty sure it's a sensor for temp. Is behind the grille. Dead center under the latch.

Post TWO Sensors there

@DesertRoads


I "thought" that that sensor was located elsewhere and my fellow forum members were giving you bumb info. So - fortunately - before making a fool out of myself, I looked it up and learned that nrivera04 and casey.mikl are ABSOLUTELY correct.


BUT, another sensor (Frontal Impact Severity Sensor) seems to be located right there at the SAME SPOT - and having never seen either one, I have no idea what either looks like. However, it seems they have different looking connectors, so I thought a couple of pages from my wiring diagram manual might help identify which is which. Maybe easier than blowing a hair dryer on one to see what happens.


Best wishes.
